Awareness in Action

About This Group
Please join the Awareness in Action group and share your awareness efforts, photos and videos! Discover new ideas on how to raise awareness for hearing loss, and cochlear implant and Baha technology.
According to the Better Hearing Institute, hearing loss affects more than 31 million Americans—most of whom are below retirement age. Currently, we are only treating less than 10% of people who could benefit from cochlear implant and Baha technology!
Help to support hearing health and take action to spread the word about hearing loss in your community. We look forward to discovering the activities you have completed to raise awareness throughout the year.
Remember, every moment matters - spread the word today!
